Partial charges in chambered pieces... projectiles as bore obstructions...
« on: October 20, 2011, 03:17:08 PM »
ie:  Muzzle loading cannon with reduced chambers like howitzers.  With reduced loads which do not fill the chamber, there will be an air space because the projectile can not enter the reduced section.   
 
I am wondering what the Army / Navy thought of this issue.  Did they use a filler?
